February 19, 2007

In browsing Digg.com this morning, I noticed that Blue Box is listed in the Digg podcast directory, but it only has a very few "Diggs" (4 before I added my own). If any of you are Digg users and would be so inclined to go to that page and "digg" the podcast (the count at the top for the overall podcast versus the individual episodes), we'd appreciate the votes. If enough listeners do this, it might move Blue Box up some of the lists of podcasts (note the "Up and Coming Podcasts" sidebar) and attract additional listeners that way. Comments are also of course welcome. Many thanks to the folks who have already "dugg" Blue Box and are responsible for it being there in the first place. Thanks!

Why "Blue Box"?

We chose the name "Blue Box" primarily as a nod to the era of phone phreaking in part to illustrate that threats to telephony are not new - they just continue to change and evolve. That and admittedly the name just sounded cool.
